I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Was there any news on the Rampage videogame adaptation?

Joe Mangianello was cast, maybe as the werewolf.

So word out of SXSW is that Atomic Blonde is not so good, but Edgar Wright's Baby Driver is fantastic. Trailer certainly backs that up.

The Matrix officially being rebooted by WB. Bolded the only part that matters

quote:

It’s still not clear what shape the project will take, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. is in the early stages of developing a relaunch of The Matrix, the iconic 1999 sci-fi movie that is considered one of the most original films in cinematic history, with Zak Penn in talks to write a treatment.

Sources say there is potential interest in Michael B. Jordan to star, but much must be done before the project is ready to go.

At this point, the Wachowski siblings, who wrote and directed the original and its two sequels, are not involved and the nature of their potential engagement with a new version has not been determined. Certainly, Warners would want the two filmmakers to give at minimum a blessing to the nascent project. The studio had no comment.

I find it hard to believe they will be able to successfully modernize this without it seeming weird, since the original was a product of the time period in many ways

I can actually see a Matrix reboot being good, if they don't try to follow the events of the first film and redo them. Since the in-universe Matrix has been rebooted multiple times in its history before the events of the first film, I'd love to see just more cyberpunk Matrix adventures that exist in parallel continuity. Personally I'm someone who wanted to appreciate what the Wachowskis wanted to do with the sequels philosophically, but never really actually liked the direction they went. What I loved most about the first film is all of the events leading up to Neo being woken up, training, etc. I didn't care about Neo after he became a superhero, so I hope Michael B. Jordan's character isn't anything like "The One".

If this is just a cool Cyberpunk adventure that happened to take place in the same world like some of the Animatrix shorts brushed up against, I'm totally down.

Really sad that WB distrusts the Wachowskis so much after the past few flops, though.

I think we need to stop complaining about lack of minority roles in block busters and start complaining about lack of minority roles in other genres, because Michael B Jordan is better than this.

I give zero shits about a Matrix film without the Wackhowski's and I give zero shits about a Dragon Tattoo film without Fincher/Mara. What a terrible misunderstanding stuido's must have of what made those films watchable and successful.

It kinda reminds me of how Konami farms out Silent Hill to whichever studio is cheapest and treats its high profile "auteurs" like Kojima like poo poo because the execs literally believe that the talent who creates the game doesn't matter.

Watch WB remake the Matrix by using the Animatrix short story of the runner who runs so fast be breaks free of the simulation.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
Jupiter Ascending is loving awesome and has almost the exact same plot escalation as The Matrix. Average person gets swept off into learning their entire worlds' achievements are irrelevant, gets rescued a lot and trained to be the chosen one, gets tempted by the bad guys, gets owned, and then triumphs by brawling with the big bad and telling him who they are. I know it looks and is paced like an 80s anime OAV, which is fine, it's basically the best live action anime ever made. But I really didn't get the hate this movie got compared to all the other movies where an average person goes an incredible journey or whatever.
